The Races.


Saturday was one of the pleasantest DAYS
Imaginable. A good breeze blew from the
south. and those from the coast who had
been complaining of the heat of the previ-
| GUS days had to admit that Sacramento was
| not devoid of reasonable climate. The San
Francisco reporters, who are always "cuss-
ing" Sacramento and Sacramento weather,
had to dof their fifteen cent suits and don
heavier clothing.
The track was in excellent condition, the
| races were promptly called on time. The
| music of the First Artillery Band was
| loudly applauded, and several encores IN
| sisted upon. This band under the able
leadership of Charles Neale, is rapidly
| gaming State reputation, and their varied
programmes of new and choice music is
not among the least of the attractions of the
| fair.
The first race of the day was two-vear-
old trotting stake that closed in April last
with eighteen nominations. OF these, how
ever, only two put in an apprehension
| Mateo stock farms Grandee and G. Valen-
| SINS Memo. Grandee was known to
| be quite fast, and as Memo stood
| no show to win there was no
| pool selling. 1t being in reality simply q
walk-oyer, there was no interest taken in
| the event. Grandee won in two straight
heats. In the first he led from the score to
the half by three lengths, and was seven
lengths in the lead when he reached home
| in jog in 2:334.
The second heat the colts were started
very evenly, but Grandee soon left Memo
| far behind, passing the quarter in "a. the
half III 1:121. Everybody was delighted
and 1t was thought Goldsmith was driving
Grandee for record. In this, however,
they were mistaken, for in the last half.
mile he slowed down to let the other colt
come up, and crossed the score almost in a
walk in 2:37a.
